This program is tentative and subject to change.
We aim to bring together colleagues who share a common interest in Computer Science and Engineering Bridge programs, which are programs designed to bridge a gap for less experienced and/or underserved students as they begin university. We invite both those interested in starting bridge programs at their institutions and those with knowledge of existing programs, including best practices and lessons learned. We will collaborate to discuss the most effective approaches to these programs and challenges that arise in their implementations, including exclusivity in the selection of admits, target audience, funding limitations, outreach, and more. We aim to have participants leave with resources, including information about other programs, points of contact for networking, and a collaborative document from the discussion, as well as a website for hosting resources of existing programs.
